IBM Cloud Secrets - Get a Binary Secret

See more Secrets Examples

Demonstrates how to fetch the content of a binary secret from the IBM Cloud Secrets.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.1.0 or later.

VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' The bootstrap secret will contain the following information:

' IBM Cloud API Key

' See following examples for setting up a bootstrap secret in memory, 
' or in the local manager (Windows Credentials Manager or Apple Keychain)
' Setup Bootstrap Secret in Local Manager
' Setup Bootstrap Secret in Memory
set bootstrap = CreateObject("Chilkat.Secrets")

' Set the location of the bootstrap secret.
' Can be "local_manager" or "memory", depending on how you setup the bootstrap secret.
' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' If your operating system is NOT Windows or MacOS/iOS, then change "local_manager" to "memory"
' You can also, if desired, use "memory" on Windows and MacOS/iOS if your bootstrap secret was previously setup in memory.
' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' Specify the bootstrap secret to be used.
